Sister Liu, who is that? Why is he in the boss's office? "
"Who is it?"
"The one who went in just now?"
"Oh, the boss's son."
"It can't be."
Shen Yue was dumbfounded. "This hot pot restaurant is owned by Chen Yu's family?"
"You know Xiao Yu?"
"He … he's my classmate."
"So Xiao Yu is your classmate. I'll ask Xiao Yu to promote you."
"Sister Liu, don't laugh at me. I've only been here for a few days."
"Hehe, are you interested in Xiao Yu? Do you want me to help you?"
"No, I'd better earn my pocket money."
Shen Yue was a little embarrassed and hurried to greet the customers.
At 6 pm, Chen Yu walked out of the general manager's office. Shen Yue just got off work.
The two of them shared a car and returned to school together.
"Young Master Chen, you're really low-key."
"What Young Master Chen?"
"Stop pretending. Hot Pot Beauty is actually owned by your family and you're hiding it from everyone. You should treat everyone in class."
"What do you mean by hiding it from everyone? It has nothing to do with me. It's owned by my parents."
"Your parents own it. Isn't it yours?"
"You can say that, but it's not. It's my parents' business, not mine."
"You don't like hot pot restaurants?"
"I can't say that I don't like it. I like something more."
"What's that?"
"The Internet."
"The Internet?"
Shen Yue was a little confused. "If you like the Internet, why don't you go to the computer science department? Why did you come to the economics department?"
"Well …"
Chen Yu didn't know what to say. "It's hard to explain in a few words. Let's talk about it later. However, Beauty Shen, I didn't expect you to come here to experience life. How is it? It's fun, right? "
"What do you mean experience life? I'm working to earn money."
"Look at the clothes you're wearing. One piece of clothes is worth half a month's salary. You're still working to earn money?"
"Uh …"
Shen Yue was a little embarrassed, but she still said, "It's one thing for another. Can't I earn some pocket money?"
"Okay, that's fine."
Chen Yu didn't continue to ask. However, Shen Yue had a lot of questions. "Chen Yu, your hot pot restaurant's concept is very innovative. I think it has potential."
"You think so highly of him?"
"That's right. Didn't you talk about Chinese restaurants in class before? I think Hot Pot Xi Shi can be a brand. However, there's no need to recruit franchises for the time being. If you want to open a branch, it's best to do it directly. "
"Direct operation?"
Shen Yue's comment piqued Chen Yu's interest. "Why not?"
"Although joining a company is the fastest way to seize the market, the franchise system is a little chaotic. The operating standards of each franchisee are different. Some are good, some are bad, some are strong, and some have ordinary funds. There were also some concepts that couldn't be unified with the headquarters. Short-term alliances seemed to be able to seize the market, but they couldn't perfectly implement the headquarters' standards. If that's the case, it's better to set up a direct operation. "
"Not bad, Beauty Shen, you can be the store manager."
Chen Yu didn't like the traditional way of joining.
Although it was true that they could quickly occupy the market and make a lot of profits in a short period of time, there was a big flaw in joining. Just like Tian Luo Shi, the method he used to join the team was very effective at the beginning. However, some of the later franchisees had different standards. Some of them did better, and some even lost money.
In the end, Tian Luo Shi's brand couldn't reach the whole country. It was a pity.
However, although it was a pity, Chen Yu also knew that there was no other way.
Tian Luo Shi was too niche. Even if he used a strict direct operation method, it would be difficult for him to expand.
Although that was what he said, Chen Yu didn't completely approve of the direct operation method.
Although the direct operation method could control the quality and perfectly implement the headquarters' standards, there was another drawback, which was that the expenses were too high. Take Shenzhen as an example. At present, the investment to open a 600 square meter store was about 600,000 yuan, and that was only in 2002. If it was in 2018 or 2019, the investment to open a 600 to 1,000 square meter store would be at least 10 million yuan.
Opening a store already cost so much. If there were 10 or 100 stores, the investment would be incomparably terrifying.
"Forget it, I'm just casually saying. Moreover, I don't have the ability to be a store manager. Sister Liu is very capable. "
Sister Liu was talking about Liu Lifang.
Back then, she had followed her parents to open a hot pot restaurant in Gan City. This time, her parents had also brought Liu Lifang to Shencheng.
"Yes, Sister Liu is really good."
Chen Yu nodded.
Although Liu Lifang's education level was low, she started from the bottom.
In Gan City, she started by serving the customers. Because she was diligent and efficient, her parents slowly promoted Liu Lifang to the manager of the hot pot restaurant in Gan City.
The two of them chatted. Chen Yu also wanted to hear Shen Yue's opinion on hot pot.
After more than half an hour, the two of them arrived at school.
…
"Yongping, how was the investigation in China this time?"
"I didn't gain much."
"You're really open-minded. You're so relaxed when you didn't gain anything?"
"Haha, it's not the first day you've known me. That's my attitude."
Duan Yongping stayed in China for a few days before returning to America.
His wife, Liu Xin, made a cup of tea for Duan Yongping and said, "Yes, you're a great lover. You didn't care about anything when you came to America for me. In China, you're like a god."
"Hahaha, that's true."
Duan Yongping laughed loudly, "I love beauties more than my career."
"Come on."
Liu Xin rolled her eyes at Duan Yongping but still said, "I don't care if you love beauties or your career, but your electronics factories in China should be transformed."
"I know."
Duan Yongping also nodded, "It's just that I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it when I think about it. Also, I have other ideas this time. "
"What ideas?"
"I plan to invest in NetEase shares."
"NetEase shares?"
Liu Xin was a famous Chinese female reporter in America. Although she wasn't in the internet industry, she still knew a little about NetEase, "The internet bubble is so serious, you're still investing in NetEase?"
"The internet bubble was the most serious in America. In China, it wasn't that bad. NetEase was just a victim of the bubble. I looked at the internet situation in China. NetEase entered the online gaming industry. Their game Journey to the West has already set a record of 370,000 concurrent players. I expect their annual report to be very good. "
"Right now, NetEase's share price is only 70 cents. I don't think I'll ever see NetEase's share price as low as this again."
"Have you thought about it?"
"Yes."
Duan Yongping nodded.
"Since you've thought about it, I support you."
No matter what Duan Yongping did, Liu Xin would support him unconditionally.
However …
Duan Yongping did think about it.
However, when he was ready to buy all the stocks, he suddenly realized that there was no stock for him to buy on the secondary market …
